What is a property survey?
A property survey describes, maps and locates land ownership boundaries and corners, features and improvements.

Why should a property survey be made?
Land and its improvements are a major financial investment; therefore, all land ownership boundaries should be located, monumented and mapped by a property survey and filed in public records.

When should property be surveyed?

  • When property is divided into parcels for sale or development.
  • When property is to be sold, purchased or mortgaged.
  • When property improvements are planned or to be developed.
  • When government regulations require a survey and map of your property.
  • When the location of property boundaries or corners is uncertain.
  • When property trespass or encroachment is evidenced or suspected.
